Abstract This review provides a comprehensive overview of mono‐alkylation methodologies targeting crucial nitrogen moieties – amines, amides, and sulfonamides found in organic building blocks pharmaceuticals. Emphasizing the intersection chemical precision with drug discovery, central challenge addressed is achieving one‐pot mono‐selective short‐chain N‐alkylations (methylations, ethylations, n ‐propylations), preventing undesired overalkylation. Additionally, sustainable, safe, benign alternatives to traditional alkylating agents, including alcohols, carbon dioxide, carboxylic acids, nitriles, alkyl phosphates, quaternary ammonium salts, carbonates, are explored. review, categorized by nature agent, aids researchers selecting suitable methods for N‐alkylation.
